INSTALLATION & SETUP
SETTING THE PROJECTOR'S IP ADDRESS
: Upon connection to most Ethernet
networks, each projector's factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0 triggers the network's
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server function to automatically
assign an IP address that is valid and unique for use on that network. Depending on
the network, this DHCP-assigned IP address usually remains stable for a single
session, but may change with subsequent power-ups and logins. On some networks,
the address will remain stable from session to session. In all cases, the projector's IP
address and port appear in the Status menu as well as the Ethernet Settings submenu.
See Figure 2.35
Figure 2.35. Setting the Projector's IP Address
Note that if a projector's IP address is anything other than 0.0.0.0 (shown as
000.000.000.000 in the Ethernet Settings menu) upon connection to an Ethernet
network, or if DHCP is not available on the network, the automatic DHCP server
function for supplying a valid and unique IP address to the projector is disabled.
Instead, a specific and static IP address must be defined in projector memory—enter
the new address in the Ethernet Settings submenu, or send to the projector via a serial
command.. The IP address will be in effect until it is changed again, or until the
DHCP checkbox is re-enabled for use with a DHCP server on the network.
NOTES: Only the port and IP address of the projector can be changed. The subnet
mask is fixed (255.255.255.0).
CHANGING THE PORT#:
On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may
require that the port number of the projector be changed from its default of 3002. If
so, enter a new port number in the Ethernet Settings menu or include the new port# in
an XIP serial command sent to the projector.
'
Separating Networks By default, communications originating from one type of serial controller—RS232
vs. RS422 vs. Ethernet—stay on the corresponding network path. This separation is
indicated by a "Separate" setting for "Network Routing" in the Communications
menu. If you are using an RS422 controller, for example, it will communicate only
with the projector to which it is connected unless you change this setting to either
"RS232 and RS422 Joined" or "All Joined"(Figure 2.36).
